Docs can you explain, is it safe to eat after bleeding gums?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Gum bleeding is the first sign of gingival inflammation and can be eliminated by thorough brushing of the area. If the bleeding gum is due to food impaction, i.e. Food get caught in the area, check with your dentist to close any open contact between the teeth to eliminate food impaction concern. Good oral hygiene follow through will ensure the healthy, none-bleeding gums.
